Speedway (1968)

 

Pretty Cute Comedy

Steve Grayson (Elvis) is a very generous man and a NASCAR driver and singer (naturally) - he's always getting friends out of trouble. Kenny Donford (Bill Bixby) is Steve's manager, a compulsive gambler and a 'ladies man' who has been mismanaging Steve's money which gets Steve in trouble with the IRS. Susan Jacks (Nancy Sinatra) is the IRS agent keeping tabs on Steve and (naturally) she's a singer/dancer.

The film itself is a cute comedy but the songs in this one are really lacking.

I'm always happy to see Bill Bixby in films. Elvis' songs aren't that good and Nancy's songs are not as that grand either.

6/10
